Sonos Move Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The Sonos Move carries an IP56 rating, which means it is dust-resistant and protected against jets of water but is not fully waterproof and cannot be submerged. This makes it suitable for outdoor use in rain or near pools, but it should not be dropped into water.

The Sonos Move provides up to approximately 11 hours of continuous playback at moderate volume levels on a single charge. Battery life will be shorter at higher volumes or when the speaker is used outdoors in Bluetooth mode rather than on Wi-Fi.

Yes, the Sonos Move is a dual-mode speaker that operates on Wi-Fi when indoors within range of your Sonos system and automatically switches to Bluetooth when you move out of Wi-Fi range. This allows it to function as both a multi-room Sonos speaker and a standalone portable Bluetooth speaker.

The Sonos Move 2, released in 2023, improves on the original Move with longer battery life (up to 24 hours versus approximately 11), stereo sound from dual angled drivers instead of mono, and a more sustainable replaceable battery design. The original Move remains a capable speaker but the Move 2 addresses the most common complaints about battery longevity from first-generation owners.
